From taxidermy and photography to forgotten lives and colonial histories, Reimag(in)ing the Victorians explores how leading contemporary artists reimagine the Victorians in their work.

Morgan Puett, Mark Fairnington, Tessa Farmer, Andrew Gilbert, Sunil Gupta, Nicolas Laborie, Debbie Lawson, Alastair and Fleur Mackie, Sally Mann, Kate MccGwire, Polly Morgan, Ingrid Pollard and Yinka Shonibare CBE.
